What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
Say goodbye to oily skin and hello to flawless and broad spectrum protection with O3+ Mattifying Sunscreen SPF 50! A powerful sunscreen that offers ultimate protection from UVB and UVA rays without making your skin too shiny. UVB is the primary cause of sunburn and skin cancer, while UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and is responsible for premature ageing and wrinkles. Both can damage the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that can result in premature ageing, dark skin, etc. O3+ Mattifying Sunscreen offers complete protection against all types of sun damage. When the active ingredients in this sunscreen come in contact with the sun's UV rays, they do not break down, but become more effective and offer optimal protection. Features: Lightweight and refreshing formula, Matte finish, Non-comedogenic and PABA-free.

DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Glycerin pulls water from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer skin layer (epidermis), boosting moisture levels and keeping skin soft, smooth, and plump.
Why It's Used: It is used in virtually every moisturizer, serum, and cleanser because it is highly effective at hydrating skin, is well-tolerated by all skin types, and enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations.
How It Works: As a humectant, glycerin forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules, trapping them in the skin. it also reinforces the skin barrier by integrating into lipid structures between skin cells.
